"Knowing Mrs Michelle Lee is one of the best things that have ever happened in my life". That's what i've been thinking of suddenly while i was playing a game of Solitaire. I realised that i had forgotten to write that line down on her card. sigh.. nvm. cus i had went back to tanglin on valentine's day to give mrs koh and mrs lee their Thank-you card. or you can call it my graduation msg to them. i wrote mrs koh's one till i cried. she read it in front of me. and it so happens that she started crying too, upon reading the exact same paragraph which i had cried from writting so. haha..
but i must say that i was being very expressive when i wrote their cards. i had started thinking of what to write, ever since i left Tanglin, entering Innova JC. it was only in IJC, that made me truly appreciate them. appreciating them, and accepting the fact that there is the possibility that there will be no other teachers that i will ever come across, who are as caring and compassionate as them. the ones whom i can confide all my feelings to, without much embarassement. That was why leaving Tanglin was such a pain for me in the past. but i've managed to accept it today. Which was why i wrote them a thank-you card.
i had originally prepared one for mrs jacob but i've decided against it when i found myself having nothing else to write, when i've only written half of the space. i guess i will only write her one if i ever have the inspiration in doing so. anyway, 14th Feb was so fun for me. i enjoyed myself. not because i went out with a guy or whatever. but because i went back to Tanglin!! (: it was the first time that i had returned back, after receiving my O level results. I spoke to soooo many teachers, and i really enjoyed myself there! i spoke especially long with mrs koh!
I spoke to so many teachers on that day, for ONE and a HALF HOUR! isn't it amazing? (: Mrs Chng even gave me a Valentine's day gift. that is a Marks & Spencer's choc with mashmellow in it. it's nice. (: I don't know why but Mrs koh and i are super talkative. even despite seeing each other once or twice a week. we can talk endlessly! the only time that we ever stop chatting is when she has to do something or someone interupts us. other than that, we both have much to talk and i am impressed by that. shhe told me that Mr Mah said this: "ni kan! na ge Kelly Chua ke yi pass de!" he was refering my o level chinese grade. haha.. he had forced a very reluctant me, to retake my chinese. due to that, i am currently a C student instead of a D student in chinese. I later saw him and we shook hands. he was really delighted when he spoke to me. haha..
Valentine's day is a mad day for me. haha.. cus i received so many chocs from my classmates!! i received a total of 15 chocs from my classmates. it is a really fattening day for myself. haha.. other than that, i found it interesting to compare which chocs i enjoy eating best. There was Dove, Ferero Roche, Ferero Malfy (something like tt), Van Houten, Marks & spencer, M&M, etc etc. lol manz. anyway, Innova doesn't celebrate Valentine's day unlike tanglin. so it's a pretty dull day. my classmates exchanged V present by drawing lots. i bought a name key chain for a girl. it costed me 13 bucks. i can't believe that it cost more than the one i had once bought for Jia Ming. lolx. i received a pink heart and a purple key chain. they're nice.
-----------------
anyway ms portia tan treated me for dinner one monday after i visited the band. the meal costed her 30 bucks. but it was a superb dinner. we ate a main dish each, and 2 side dishes- butter prawns and vegetables. the prawns are gigantic; i've never seen anything larger than that before and it tasted excellent. it was the first time that i am treated of a full meal by a teacher alone. haha.. i've ever been treated la.. by mrs lee- fruits and drinks.. etc. but never a full meal. haha.. i really enjoyed my day.
HOWEVER, the band ruined my day. the discipline in the band was disastrious that day. there were so many group of students talking while the band instructor (mr subranto) was talking. it is utterly rude of them. i was shocked and disgusted by the band leaders. they did nothing to stop them. even ms portia was disappointed with them. so we spent most of our time talking abt the band, and the other half talking about the teaching career. and lastly, the guy that is giving us headache. lol. we share a comon problem. i shall shut up on that.
========================================
it's confirmed that i'm giving amnita tution. however, i may not be able to sacrifice so much of my time as time proceeds and i'm certain of that. i have taught her a little so far and it proves not to be an easy task at all. her fundamental in math is weak. sigh. but actually, half of me is willing to teach her as i am trying to recover on my losses since i had been spending quite a sum of money during the holidays.
i went to tanglin yesterday. i gave oranges to my teachers and something awful happened. some ppl raised their voice at me but i was later proved innocent. i have nothing to comment on that at the moment as i do not wish to think about that issue. anyway, i ate with mrs lee and it looks like she isn't very happy with amnita. it makes me wonder if she really lieks me as her student as she amnita always tell me that mrs lee always praised me in front of her, never an ill statemnet about me. hai.. it makes me feel uncomfortable. and she had sent me an sms a day earlier telling me that "you're my sunshine". aww.. so sweet of her right? haha.. on V day. haha
========================
anyway, i am having a little difficulty of catching up in my academic work le. so i can't believe what will happen for those who intend to go JC and are not in this PAE prog. its crazy. i'm having so many hw this hols? it is siao. but i am guilty of not revising through my tutorials and lecture notes. cus i am currently on this mentality- "don't study too hard". ever since i've gotten my O level results. haha.. that's the aftermath of my results. other that, i am okay! :)
anyway, i'l be going to Mrs koh's house with my class, this tue for class gathering. i'm excited. celest ginny and i will be going to IMM after that.
i've got to start studying. egads! :(
cya. Happy CNY! anyway i just came home from a reniuon dinner at Chinatown. i received a total of 92 bucks from 4 ppl. i've got one more to go. haha.. i hope i can bank in at least a hundred bucks!! :)
i spent my entire day cleaning up my room today. it was totally fun. :)
